Grid coding
Entorhinal grid representations support spatial position and navigation
family: Spatial cognition

Grid cell symmetry is shaped by environmental geometry
Krupic et al. Nature
Grid-cell firing patterns were distorted by environmental geometry, showing that spatial coding is shaped by enclosure boundaries rather than being perfectly metric.

Microstructure of a spatial map in the entorhinal cortex
Hafting et al. Nature
Identified grid cells with periodic spatial firing patterns in entorhinal cortex.

Evidence for grid cells in a human memory network
Doeller, Barry & Burgess. Nature
Human entorhinal signals showed six-fold directional modulation consistent with grid-cell-like coding.
